Copying the second half of the screen to the first

programming flash

I’m trying to draw the second half of the screen into the first using bitmap data. here is my code:


var screenData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(275,400);
screenData.draw(root,null,null,null,new Rectangle(275,0,275,400));

var screenBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(screenData);

addChild(screenBitmap);

this image explains my problem:

  1. this is what the stage looks like
  2. this is what I want the stage to look like after the code executes
  3. this is what actually happens

I have a suspicion that it might involve using a matrix, but they’re pretty foreign to me…
thanks for any help!
